She worked primarily as a secretary but was able to do anything she put her mind to. She was very much her own person. Taina was married for 35 years to Vernon Webb-Bey. Together they enjoyed two daughters, Sharron and Vastae. She loved entertaining family and friends especially by cooking for them. Some of her best meals included: guinea grinders, cabbage and chicken. She loved company but when it was time to go, it was time to go! Tainas personality shined through her humor. She loved to sing but couldnt carry a tune. She enjoyed shopping and collected footie pajamas and lets not hide the fact that she wore them as well.
